Managing Discipline, Misconduct & Domestic Inquiry at the Workplace
Your managers either ignore misconduct until it becomes a crisis, or take disciplinary action so procedurally incorrectly that the Industrial Court overturns it — exposing the organisation to back-pay, reinstatement orders, and reputational damage.
Participants learn to manage misconduct from the first notice to the final decision — applying natural justice principles, conducting procedurally sound domestic inquiries, and issuing disciplinary outcomes that withstand Industrial Court scrutiny. HR teams gain the confidence to act decisively while protecting the organisation legally at every step.
